Toque It Up-Bacon Jam Recipe

Toque It Up

These ‘Toque It Up’ installments will be an ongoing step into the kitchen with Chefs Scott, Rick, and Eric. We hope to showcase recipes, ideas, and chatter that will be able to be duplicated by our guests at home. Our Chefs love to cook, create, and eat but they also love music, libations, art, and good company. We will try to curve these recipes to fit a little bit of that flavor as well.

Bacon Jam

Since opening Bacon Jam on our ‘snacks’ menu has been our best seller and for good reason. This is a great starter for a group or to bring to a holiday party as a gift.

Chef Rick prepared this at his home so we could properly relate how to do it at yours. This is a great straight forward recipe to start off with. Step one – Begin to play Miles Davis ‘On the Corner’ preferably the complete 6 disc sessions set . Set the mood for the bacon.

Dice 1lb of bacon (thicker and beefier the bacon the better). Sautee in a fat bottomed pan on medium heat until fat has rendered out and bacon has a chewy texture. Drain most of the fat from the pan but reserve a tablespoon or two to sautéed the onions.
